[wildcard-comments] Verisign DNS wildcarding

[Richard Dulabahn <rdulabahn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A quick comment, and one that I'm sure other people have said.  It's wrong 
for 2 reasons.

1)  This is out-of-spec, and will break things.  Not following the correct 
specifications is what causes problems.

2)  This is spam.  I don't want Verisign's advertising anytime I mistype 
something.

I know Verisign is seeing dollar signs and rubbing their hands over all the 
free advertising they'll get to pipe to people.  But consider the amount of 
negative press this will generate from people who depend on the 
specification documents, (for example, ISP providers).  Now imagine what 
these ISP providers could do to block their "service".

Unless Verisign wants to have their address ranges mapped to 127.0.0.1 in 
my hosts file, they better lay off this lame brained scheme.
